I am just starting out DJing, getting my decks and stuff within 2 weeks. What are better cartridges, the Ortofon Concorde Silvers or the Stanton Groovemaster II RM? Also I notice the groovemasters have the built in headshell but can anyone tell me if the ortofon do also, cause they are the ones I would prefer to get. Here are some links to info about them.... Ortofon Concorde Silver Stanton Groovemasters
Thx in advance.

Go for the Ortofons. Yes they do have the "built in headshell", i.e. they go directly onto the tonearm istead of attaching first onto the headshell.
But, go for the Ortofon Concorde DJ (blue) rather than the silver - the silver ones are identical to the black ones (the "Pro" = the lowest in the range) in everything but color. They just charge more for them because they're silver. The blue ones have a better stylus - they track better and give better sound quality, and cost only a small amount more or the same as the silver ones.
